Encounters with Aliens on this Day

December 1

On this day in 1953, some gardeners in Strasbourg, France
watched a brilliant disc move back and forth in the sky. It shot off
to the south at a very high speed. (Source: Loren Gross, UFOs: A
History 1953, p. 056).

In Valley City, North Dakota at 1:20 a.m. in 1956, a
round, reddish UFO caused interference on a police radio while being
observed. (Source: Project Blue Book).

In 1957 at 6:00 a.m. a huge cigar-shaped object with 8
shimmering lights on its side moved slowly through the morning sky in
Yokohama, Japan. Later that same day a US Air Force plane circled
at a low altitude as a 1 meter in diameter disc hovered above it. The disc
vanished in plain sight. (Source: Loren Gross, UFOs: A History 1957
(Volume 10), pp. 1,4).

1958 -- One year later, a wingless fuselage circled slowly at
a high altitude east of Grants, New Mexico at 2:30 in the afternoon.
Earlier that day, at 2:07 a.m., a round, white glowing object moved back
and forth for 90 minutes new Lake Elsinore, California. The observers
signaled the UFO with a flashlight, and it approached to within 10 feet,
pacing their truck and emitting a high-pitched hum. They then saw a "well
built" man run across the road in front of them. (Source: Richard Hall,
The UFO Evidence (Volume I), p. 90).

1966 - At 6:35 p.m. in Middleboro, Massachusetts an apparently
oval-shaped object dove in front of the witness's car on Highway 25. It
carried two large bright red pulsating lights. It stopped to hover silently
over some woods just off the road. A curved shaped could be seen behind
the lights. (Source: Raymond E. Fowler, UFOs: Interplanetary Visitors,
p. 342).

In 1971 on this night in Minnesota more than 15 police
and sheriff deputies in five towns, centered on Excelsior, Minnesota
sighted a glowing sphere. The object changed color from red to green.
It was sometimes silent and sometimes reported to be humming. One photograph
was taken as it hovered over Chanhassen, Minnesota a few minutes
before midnight. (Source: Jay Rath, The M-Files: True Reports of
Minnesota's Unexplained Phenomena, p. 40).

In 1973, Mr. Marjapori was loading gravel at French Lake in Annandale,
Louisiana at eight o'clock in the morning when he spotted a silver,
cone-shaped UFO. The large end of the cone was revolving, and it was
emitting silver streaks from the short end. It shot away to the southeast
at a very high speed. At 7:00 that evening a shiny, silver cigar-shaped
object descended and paced a car with a mother and daughter in Sugar
Grove, Ohio. The UFO had a red light on one end, a green light
on the other, and a pulsating white light in the center. It fixed a
beam of light on the car and pursued it for 15 minutes. (Sources: Newspaper
Clippings file, December 6, 1973; Geri Wilhelm, Skylook, February
1974, p. 9).

1974 - At 11:00 p.m. three persons in a parked car
near Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, Canada observed several
bright lights that looked like they were on the perimeter of a large,
dark flying object. The object hovered at a low altitude and moved up
and down. On several occasions a light approached their vehicle at high
speed and stopped about 20 feet away. These shooting lights were quite
bright but dimmed upon stopping, then disappeared. The occupants of
the vehicle felt a cold sensation when the lights approached. One of
the witnesses saw two human-like figures walking near their car. They
were wearing silvery outfits with face masks and helmets. Each helmet
had a single antenna. As the UFO left the witnesses felt a strong rush
of air and something strike their vehicle. At that moment they felt
a strong sensation of heat. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact
Database 1974, case # 2745, citing MUFON Canada, quoting the Canadian
military).

In 1978 at 1:40 a.m., a small dark disc with a luminous underbody,
estimated to be about 1.5 meters in diameter, flew slowly along the
coast heading south in Giulianova, Italy. About four hours later,
in Milan, Italy the entire electrical system of a car failed
when a luminous, orange and green saucer-shaped UFO flew overhead. The
object circled the car then rose vertically. The car functioned without
trouble after the UFO left the scene. At 7:15 that same morning a silver
triangle with yellow lights flew from the west to the east over Ruislip,
England. (Sources: (1) Lumieres dans la Nuit
and ITACAT; (2) Awareness, April 1979, p. 11).

On this night in 1981 a bullet-shaped object, a sphere, and
several nocturnal lights were sighted flying to the north over Hessdalen
Valley, Norway toward Trondheim. According to John Spencer, this
report was the first of a four-year wave of reports from the Hessdalen
Valley. (Source: John Spencer, UFO Encyclopedia, p. 143).

In the pre-dawn hours on this morning in 1987 on the outskirts
of Ilkley Moor, West Yorkshire, England ex-constable and UFO
abductee Mr. Spencer photographed a little man on the moors south of
town. The ufonaut ran to a disc-shaped craft and took off. (Source:
Jenny Randles, Flying Saucers and How to See Them, p. 108).

On this evening in 1989 a 51-year-old man and two other witnesses
saw a UFO maneuver at about 600 feet altitude in Indianapolis, Indiana.
It was escorted by what looked like four black, Huey-model helicopters.
All five craft moved slowly into the distance until out of sight. (Source:
Norma Croda, MUFON case investigation database, case # 900823).

1991 - Three young farm hands were playing cards late at night
in a small shack on a farm in Laboulaye, Argentina when a bright
light outside caught their attention. Frightened, they looked out and
saw a huge luminous object resting nearby on the ground. About 15 small
humanoid figures were walking about near the object. The beings wore helmets
with lights on them, resembling those worn by miners, and seemed to be
wearing small capes on their shoulders. The UFO and the short humanoids
stayed in the area most of the night. The next morning a circular ground
trace was found at the landing site. A dog reacted during the incident.

In 1992, in the town of Iaeger, McDowell county, West Virginia
at 4:00 p.m., David Church saw a delta-shaped UFO fly overhead very
slowly at about 250 feet altitude. It moved backwards, with the pointed
end toward the rear. It had many multi-colored lights on the underside,
lit up like a Christmas tree. (Source: Bob Teets, West Virginia UFOs:
Close Encounters in the Mountain State, P. 67).

In 1993 at 8:45 p.m. in Baca Ranch, Colorado author and
UFO investigator Christopher O'Brien videotaped 7 or 8 aircraft--probably
helicopters--escorting a large unblinking flying sphere. Mr. O'Brien
and another witness watched with the aid of night vision goggles as
the objects maneuvered around and over the Sangre de Cristo mountains.
An unblinking craft, escorted by three helicopters, was sighted an hour
later near Gunnison, Colorado. (Sources: (1) Christopher
O'Brien, The Mysterious Valley, p. 202; (2) Paul Ferrughelli,
Computer Catalog of UFO Reports, 1988-1994, case 1636).

In 1994 at 8:30 a.m., a Mr. Becker sighted a square-shaped UFO
with a small dome on top in Leopoldshoefe, Germany. It had red,
orange, violet, and green lights on its bottom, and it moved very slowly,
making no noise, at approximately 70 meters altitude. (Source: Illobrand
von Ludwiger, Best UFO Cases-Europe, p. 36).

According to Michael Hesemann, on this date in 1996
the Space Shuttle mission STS-80 filmed a UFO maneuvering in Earth
orbit. (Source: Michael Hesemann, UFOs: The Secret History).

1996 - Late at night two coon hunters and their hunting dogs were
parked on Leonard Road six miles south of Bethel, Ohio waiting
for the right time to set their dogs loose. They released them and followed
them into a harvested cornfield. As they approached the nearby power lines
the dogs got very quiet, which was very uncommon for these dogs. When
one of the hunters stepped into a clearing he was shocked to see a silvery
saucer-shaped craft with a transparent cupola sitting on the ground. Nearby
stood three humanoids wearing coverall uniforms. The beings were described
as "Greys," short with slanted black eyes. One of them was slightly
taller and had a much bigger head. As both the hunters and their dogs
watched, the three humanoids ran to their saucer and entered through an
open hatch. The object then rose straight up into the air and vanished.

In 2001 at 9:20 p.m. near Tucumcari, Texas many people
witnessed a brightly lit object move across the sky chased by F-16
fighters. The UFO changed directions several times. According to the
witnesses, the jets fired missiles at the UFO and hit it, causing it to
explode in the air. According to NORAD they witnesses the re-entry of a
Russian satellite. (Source: UFO Magazine, April 2002, p. 20, citing
